Far from An End

Across these shadows and down these halls,
Forever I see haunting with loud calls.
With a stain upon the ever throne.
Calling me back to where I don’t know.
But resist this urge I fight to do.
For in this darkness it intends to…

Part the waves.
Claim your kin.
Turn this sacrifice to sin.
Your are not safe.
You might still shake.
And when you do we’ll be…
Lying in wait.

Along these walls built from bone, ash and rock,
There stands one too many amongst the flock.
Is this an intruder or a trick of the mind?
Whichever it is I feel a splitting in time.
Fork with three choices to take.
Two are right and one will…

Part the waves.
Claim your kin.
Turn this sacrifice to sin.
Your are not safe.
You might still shake.
And when you do we’ll be…
Lying in wait.

What do I do?
Harrowing too.
I feel all the stress.
Starting to compress.

Or is this what they crave?
A crushing of brave.
Paralysis until I sink.
Hoping that I will then shrink.

I refuse.
I will not bow down.
I pick a route, soon escape the brown!
Sky turns from murk to blue.
Smile splits my face in two.
I chose right.
Those voices wither away.
I spit back at their failed depravity.
